How to get journal's primary contact email address from code?

Hey,

OJS V 2.4.8

I want to add an email notification so that whenever there is a new registration, an email is sent to the journal’s primary contact. To do this I add the email sending function in “…/classes/user/form/RegistrationForm.inc.php”.

It works fine when I provide a hard coded email address as recipient.
My question is: inside the RegistrationForm.inc.php, function execute(), how I can get the journal’s primary contact (which is set in Setup Step 1) ?

These are journal settings, ‘contactEmail’ and ‘contactName’.

See, for example:

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-stable-2_4_8/classes/mail/MailTemplate.inc.php#L96



		// Default "From" to user if available, otherwise site/journal principal contact
		$user =& Request::getUser();
		if ($user) {
			$this->setFrom($user->getEmail(), $user->getFullName());
		} elseif (is_null($journal) || is_null($journal->getSetting('contactEmail'))) {
			$site =& Request::getSite();
			$this->setFrom($site->getLocalizedContactEmail(), $site->getLocalizedContactName());

		} else {
			$this->setFrom($journal->getSetting('contactEmail'), $journal->getSetting('contactName'));
		}

		if ($journal && !Request::getUserVar('continued')) {
			$this->setSubject('[' . $journal->getLocalizedSetting('initials') . '] ' . $this->getSubject());
		}

		$this->journal =& $journal;
	}

Thanks graham, it worked.

Is there any setting for this through UI in ojs 3.0?
